Your job, perhaps?

(Joking, mostly) I hope it gets better for you OP! Stick up for yourself and your mental health. Management will always push you harder if they will benefit from it and you let them do it.

I tell my team members - 14 hrs a day for a week or two is fine - it happens. 3+ weeks it’s an issue, and if you’re not escalating to the people that can help you need to

New project? Meditation? PTO? Virtual therapy? Stretch? Sleep? (The ?s are not meant to be condescending)

You’re welcome. DM if you have meditation questions. Float tank or something like this might be a good idea. Something that could give you one hour of a true release might really help

You might try therapy. I was in a similar boat and started it, honestly life changing for me

I do - the therapist becomes a safe 3rd party you can share your stress with, they can help you prioritize and learn stress management techniques. Plus just the action of committing to the process gave me that first piece to feel like I was taking control of my life again.

About a year ago I picked up a job as an EA with $18 the hour. I had no experience but over time my boss has made me pick up more work to deal with this company’s disorganization. I tried negotiating my $ but no.

I am doing nothing related to my film degree in NYC. Ideally, I’d love to be a EA in the Tv/Media field, knowing I have a lot to give. Pains me.

Any advice as a Noob? I am really trying to balance making ends meet and a good work environment.
